Pressure
 What is a pressure in science?
Pressure is the force per unit area.
 The basic formula for pressure is F/A
(Force per unit area).
 SI unit of pressure is pascal
 Formula of pressure
a. Pressure =force / Area
b. P ~ F
c. P ~ 1/A
Pa = N/m2
1. Pressure depends on the amount of force.
2. Pressure depends on the area over which
the force is applied.
 Variation of pressure
 Fluid pressure
The pressure exerted by a fluid, directly
proportional to the specific gravity at any point
and to the height of the fluid above the point.
 Since a fluid has no definite shape, its pressure
applies in all directions.
 Measuring pressure
Open tube manometer
 Pressure is measured
by pressure gauge .
 It's simplest type is
the open tube
manometer.
 This U-shaped tube
containing liquid for
measuring pressure .
We have two cases when it comes to the
application of pressure in daily life
 Case 1:- Small area resulting in greater
pressure
Case 2:- Large area resulting in smaller
pressure
 Applications of pressure
 Atmospheric pressure
 Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted on an
object by the weight of the atmosphere above it.
 Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured
with a barometer.
 Pressure on Earth varies with the altitude of the
surface; so air pressure on mountains is usually
lower than air pressure at sea level. As altitude
increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
Variation of pressure
